• EPA Researchers Analyze 30 Years Of Data To Understand How Warming Temperatures Will Affect Harmful Algal Blooms In Reservoirs

  Harmful algal blooms in lakes can produce odorous, scum-covered, or discolored water, and negatively impact human health and the environment. These blooms are frequently formed by cyanobacteria, which are often found floating in lakes as a type of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that use sunlight to make their own food and are important food sources for other organisms. Many species of cyanobacteria thrive in warm, nutrient-rich environments and some can produce toxins that cause health problems for humans, pets, and wildlife. Climate change and ongoing nutrient pollution may cause more frequent and intense cyanobacterial blooms in the future.

• What Is An Electrocoagulation ETP And Who Can Use This Treatment Technology?

  An Electrocoagulation ETP is an effluent treatment plant used for the treatment of water, wastewater, and process water. Electrochemical technology and in particular specialized electrocoagulation has become a sustainable water treatment technique due to its ability to remove multiple contaminants more efficiently and economically than conventional chemical treatment systems, such as colloidal silica, emulsified oils, total petroleum hydrocarbons, BOD, COD, refractory organics, trace heavy metals and suspended solids.
